REX SUBSIDIARY PEL-AIR AWARDED COMMONWEALTH AIR TRANSPORT
DEED OF STANDING OFFER
Regional Express (Rex) announced today that wholly-owned subsidiary Pel-Air has been
awarded the Commonwealth Air Transport Deed of Standing Offer tender.
With this award Pel-Air joins a panel of aviation companies that are authorised to provide
air transport of personnel and equipment of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) both
domestically and internationally for the next three years starting from 2 November 2009
with an option to extend for a further two years. Transport of Commonwealth personnel not
in the ADF can also be covered under this tender.
Commenting on the tender outcome, Pel-Air Director Mr Jim Davis said: "The award by
ADF is recognition that Pel-Air is part of an elite group of air charter brokers in Australia
that can be trusted to plan and organise complex military air movements of troops and
equipment to wherever they are needed. We will be using the specialist division in Pel-Air
called RexJet Executive Charter that has years of experience in all sorts of air charter
including medical evacuations, mining Fly-In/Fly-Out operations, executive charters and
troop movements."
Regional Express (Rex) is Australia's largest independent regional airline operating a fleet
of 40 Saab 340 aircraft on some 1,300 weekly flights to 29 destinations throughout New
South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Queensland. The Rex Group
